Because of your generosity in 2018…

We were able to send 17 people to Honduras with Trash Mountain Project.  We helped feed and educate hundreds of kids in the Philippines.  We delivered 65 backpacks full of food per week to 3 different schools in Topeka.  We gave every kid at McCarter Elementary a backpack for school supplies.  We gave away dozens of scholarships for Upward Soccer, Football, Basketball, and Cheerleading.  We supported two missionary families in countries closed to Gospel work.  We painted and cleaned McCarter Elementary as part of the Topeka ShareFest project.  We helped a church in the Hi-Crest neighborhood provide tutoring and technology for at-risk kids.  We also renovated our worship space so we could fit more people in the room.

We are a unique church.  In 2018 we spent 34% of our budget directly on Serve All ministries, and we’ve budgeted even more than that for 2019.  But NONE of it happens without GENEROSITY.  I’m talking about TIME and MONEY.  When God’s people are generous with both the TIME and the MONEY that God has given them, TRANSFORMATION happens. It changes us.  It changes our church.  It changes our city.  We experienced that in 2018, and we have even more in the plans for 2019.

So thank you for a great year this year.  Thank you for being generous with your time and your money.  You helped us flesh out our vision of being a people that lives out the reality of Jesus for those far from the Gospel.

Just a couple of reminders…  If you want to make a year-end financial gift, all you have to do is:

Give online before midnight on December 31st,

OR Mail a check to us that is postmarked by December 31st.

(For our autodraft givers, remember to re-login in January for giving.  We never just assume people want to keep to giving.)

Merry Christmas, Western Hills.  And thanks for being a generous church that loves to bless our city.
